Specific shift days and times are coordinated with clinic and regional leadership to align with clinic coverage needs.

• Coordinate physician coverage when unavailable to ensure continuity of provider support.
• Support providers in delivering evidence-based urgent care services aligned with organizational standards and clinical protocols.

Chart Review & Quality Oversight

• Perform chart reviews and prescribing oversight in accordance with Indiana and Illinois collaborative practice requirements.
• Review documentation completeness, clinical decision-making, and compliance with regulatory standards and organizational policies.
• Maintain and execute collaborative agreements in accordance with applicable state laws and organizational standards.
• Identify trends and opportunities for provider education, quality improvement, and clinical consistency.

Clinical Operations & Support

• Support development and maintenance of clinical workflows, standards, and protocols in collaboration with operational and clinical leadership.
• Participate in provider meetings, quality initiatives, and clinical improvement efforts as requested.
• Conduct periodic clinic rounding activities to support providers, observe workflows, and reinforce clinical standards.
• Assist with management of complex patient cases and clinical escalations.
• Support provider training related to urgent care procedures, documentation standards, and clinical workflows.
• Review and complete physician-level pre-surgical clearance evaluations as needed.

What We’re Looking For

• Doctor of Medicine (MD) or Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (DO) degree from an accredited medical school.
